Foraging for Wild Food and Medicine

We are in to Autumn now and there is an abundance of wild foods and medicines still to be found. We are very blessed. We may think that our plant relatives are dying away but there is still so much to harvest. Here I am talking about just a few things that I have found in an afternoon.

Blackberries being full of Vit C, Vit A, Vit E and Vit B6, along with other powerful anti-oxidants, make a great food at this time of year and can ward off the common cold. I make jam and chutneys with them and freeze some for a treat in a pie or crumble in mid-Winter.

Nettles are one of the most wanted medicinal plants being food as well. Suddenly they are flourishing again as they do in Spring so I have gathered a bunch to make a nourishing soup. Beneficial for men, women and children they bring welcome nutrition just as we need to build ourselves up for winter.

Hawthorn berries make a wonderful tonic medicine for the cardio-vascular system, for all manner of cardiac issues. They also benefit sleep and relaxation so are very much welcome during such stressful times and when we really need to give care to our hearts - on a metaphysical level as well.
